Taking Grandchildren Away Without Parents

[malagabob]

As title. Possibly due to parents not being able to fly on holiday ( Ryanair ). Would it be wise to get a written and signed authorisation just in case. TIA

It also wouldn't hurt to have photocopies of the data pages of the parents' passports, so the signatures on the letter can be cross-referred. You would be wise to get both parents' signatures on the letter. The authorities at the airport will check to see the children are not on the list of wards of court, or in any other way barred from leaving the country.
